EDUCATING OUR FUTURE STEWARDS: WE PROVIDE CULTURAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS TO OVER 5,000 YOUTH AND MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC PER YEAR, TEACHING AWARENESS OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES, ANCIENT CHUMASH VALUES OF SUSTAINABILITY, AND THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF CALIFORNIA'S NATIVE PEOPLES. OUR CHUMASH TRIBAL MARINE PROTECTED AREAS EDUCATION PROGRAM AND FIRST NATIONS SUMMER FIELD STUDIES, AND OTHER EDUCATION INITIATIVES GEARED TOWARDS K-12 STUDENTS, MAINTAIN OUR COMMITMENT TO BUILDING SUPPORTIVE COASTAL PARTNERSHIPS AND CONSTITUENCIES AMONGST DIVERSE COMMUNITIES THROUGH OUTREACH AND EDUCATION. SPECIFICALLY, OUR EDUCATION PROGRAMS AIM TO PROVIDE IMPACTFUL EXPERIENCES FOR YOUTH SO THEY FEEL EMPOWERED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR COMMUNITIES AND ENVIRONMENT THROUGH CAREER CHOICES AND BEHAVIOR THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES. WE SEEK TO REMEDY INEQUALITIES AND DISADVANTAGES IN MAINSTREAM EDUCATION BY FOCUSING ON UNDERSERVED AND INTERTRIBAL STUDENTS. CULTURAL PRESERVATION: OUR ONGOING PROGRAMS PRESERVE, MAINTAIN, AND PROTECT CHUMASH LIFEWAYS, CULTURE, HISTORY, AND INDIGENOUS TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE, FOR THE CHUMASH COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR PROJECTS AND CAPACITY, FROM OUR POPULAR SHMUWICH LANGUAGE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM, TRADITIONAL LAND TENDING MENTORSHIP, AND BASKETRY PROGRAMS, TO OUR WELL ATTENDED PUBLIC CULTURAL EVENTS SUCH AS SOLSTICE AND EQUINOX CEREMONIES. IN THIS WAY, KNOWLEDGE AND TRADITIONS CAN CONTINUE TO BE PASSED INTER-GENERATIONALLY, AND NON-NATIVE COMMUNITIES CAN ENGAGE IN CULTURAL APPRECIATION AND DEEPER UNDERSTANDING. IN 2017 WE CONTINUED OUR LONGSTANDING WORK TOWARD THE FULL BUILD OUT OF WISHTOYO'S AUTHENTIC CHUMASH VILLAGE IN PRESENT DAY MALIBU, AND THE THOMAS FIRE AND SUBSEQUENT FLOODING AT THE VILLAGE PRESENTED US WITH BOTH SETBACKS (LOSS OF A TRADITIONAL STRUCTURE AND RESTORATION AREAS) AND OPPORTUNITIES (NEW RESTORATION WORK AND CONTINUED FROM "CULTURAL PRESERVATION":EDUCATION PROGRAMS BASED IN INDIGENOUS FIRE MANAGEMENT). ENVIRONMENTAL AND CULTURAL PROTECTION: IN 2017 WE CONTINUED TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY AND HEALTH OF WATERBODIES AND CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT LANDS, WHICH ARE VITAL NATURAL RESOURCES FOR ALL INHABITANTS OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND THE LIFEBLOOD OF CHUMASH CULTURE. TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT, CULTURAL RESOURCES, AND SACRED PLACES, WE CONTINUED TO SUCCESSFULLY: UTILIZE LEGAL ACTION BY WAY OF STATE AND FEDERAL LITIGATION UNDER LAWS INCLUDING THE CLEAN WATER ACT AND ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT; ADVOCATE FOR STRONGER LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS, PERMITS AND LEGISLATION; CONDUCT WATERSHED MONITORING AND HABITAT RESTORATION; AND MOBILIZE COMMUNITIES TO TAKE ACTION. WISHTOYO ALSO CONTINUED TO UTILIZE ITS VENTURA COASTKEEPER ("VCK") PROGRAM WISHTOYO FOUNDED IN 2000 AS THE 54TH MEMBER OF THE INTERNATIONAL WATERKEEPER ALLIANCE TO FOCUS ON WATER QUALITY PROTECTION IN VENTURA COUNTY WATERSHEDS. 843931 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 11 0 1 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 CA X THE ORGANIZATION 8056677818 9452 TELEPHONE ROAD NO 432 VENTURA CA 93004 DAVE KAPLAN TREASURER AND DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BEAU BRIDGES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TERRY TAMMINEN VICE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBORAH SANCHEZ BOARD CHAIR AND DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ALI SAHABI SECRETARY AND DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL D NOVOA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLE GOLDBERG PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MAX GAIL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MATI WAIYA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 161666 0 8800 JASON WEINER GENERAL COUNSEL & WATER INITIATIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 181098 0 0 342764 0 8800 2 0 1 0 CBEC ECO ENGINEERING 2544 INDUSTRIAL BLVD WEST SACRAMENTO CA 95691 ENV.
